It had been a few weeks since the white mare, Pearl, had decided to take the foal in. It had turned out that the foal did have a herd, but they scattered when humans had come by and tried rounding them up. It was just Midnight and her mother for a few days after that before they were both attacked by a cougar. Midnight was able to escape but her mother had fallen victim to the predator. Midnight had been on her own for less than a couple of days before Pearl had helped her from the humans. Although Midnight was quite young, Pearl was able to show her how to drink from rivers and lakes. It wasn't what she wanted, but without a new mom to give her milk, this was the second best option. Because of this, the filly was much smaller then she should have been. No skinny, but just small in stature. Pearl had to find another mare and quickly.

"Pearl, I'm really tired.. Can we stop?" Midnight said weakly, feeling tired.

Pearl looked at the foal and then gazed out to the landscape in front of them. They were closing in on another forest. Pearl then looked at the sky, which was filled with dark and grey clouds with little sun showing through. It was going to snow again. This time it looked as though it was going to be quite a bit of snow unlike the few flurries they had for the first snow of the season the other day, which Midnight had a blast playing in. Pearl then looked back at Midnight. The poor girl could barely keep her eyes open. The white mare sighed.

"Soon. We just have to make it to the tree line. Were almost there, I promise."

Midnight only nodded slowly and followed Pearl forward. She couldn't help but feel bad for the little filly. It seemed like the whole world was against her. She was also worried that if she didn't get the right nutrients, she wouldn't survive... Pearl pushed the thought out of her mind and continued forward.

She stopped in her tracks when she saw a small, dark figure come out of the tree line. Midnight bumped into her legs and almost fell over. "Sorry!" She said quietly. She then peeked from behind Pearl and saw the figure as well. All her fatigue seemed to leave her body and was replaced with fear and worry.

"Who's that..? Midnight asked quietly.

"I don't know.." Pearl replied, not taking her eyes off the figure that seemed to be staring at them.

"Hello!" The figure called. Pearl was hesitant, but eventually began to move forward. Midnight followed close behind her. Soon the dark figure had distinguished features. She was small but had long ears. Pearl had never seen anything like that before. She kept her distance, keeping Midnight behind her.

"Hey there. What are ya'll doin' out here on your own?" The strange mare talked in a funny way, but Pearl could still understand her.

"Who are you..?" Pearl asked instead of answering the strangers question. In turn, she didn't reply either.

"Are ya'll okay? That foal is lookin' awful small."

Pearl debating on telling this strange mare their situation, but something in her gut told her they weren't in any danger.

"I'm looking for a mare who has recently had a foal or will be soon.. This is Midnight. Her mother was attacked.."

The strange mare's face switched from curious to caring and worry. "Oh you poor thing.."

"I know you don't really know us but you don't happen to have any shelter from this storm rolling in do you?" She looked at Midnight out of the corner of her eye, who was becoming tired once more and was struggling to stand. "I just worry about her." She whispered.

"Of course. Come with me, I know just the place." She turned and walked toward the forest but Pearl hesitated. The mare looked back when she realized she wasn't following.

"It's okay. I promise. We can help your little one.." Her voice changed a bit but she hid her face well. Pearl didn't question it. She took in a deep breath and she pushed her nose gently against Midnights side. They then followed the stranger into the forest.

Please let this be a turn around for us..
